On things that turned out to be a bit of a disappointment

On things that turned out to be a bit of a disappointment

Life is full of little disappointments, and reality never, ever lives up to expectations. I should know, because I often spend days, weeks at a time planning things down to the most minute of details, and come the big day it is immediately apparent from the off that her clothes will be staying on.

I also know this because I support Arsenal Football Club.

Things that have disappointed me at some stage or other in my life include:

* Meeting your favourite footballer, who turns out to be an enormous knob

* Ultravox's eighth studio album, which both sucked and blowed

* The Olympic handover party. It may have been a 'big screen on the beach' event, but it was exactly like the Life of Brian 'Sermon on the Mount' scene, right down to the fight caused by a bloke from Nose City
